Kirtland offers community education classes

ROSCOMMON — Area residents will soon have a chance to study or brush up on a variety of subjects, with Kirtland Community College set to offer an assortment of community education classes this fall.

“We felt that the community gives a lot to the college and by offering these community education classes at such a low cost, we are giving back to the community in a small way,” said Mark Burger, director of Kirtland’s eServices and Community Education Coordinator.
